| | Civilization (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Civilization went from being a board game to a computer game and back to a board game based on the computer game. | | | Civilization is a board game designed by Francis Tresham, published in Britain in 1980 by Hartland Trefoil (later by Gibson Games), and in the US in 1981 by Avalon Hill. | | | Sid Meier was a fan of this game and developed a computer game containing many of its elements. |

| | Welcome to the Drunk Dwarves |
| | Their release of “Civilization: The Board Game” is the first board game to be based off a computer game. | | | Eagle Games has done an excellent job in simplifying the game to the point where the mystique, that has propelled the Civ computer games to be leaders in their markets, has not been lost and new nuances have been brought forward to further advance the great game that is Civilization. | | | The game has a Basic and Advanced version of the rules. |

| | Gamerspulse.com Reviews Civilization: The Board Game |
| | C: TB is a fine attempt to translate the gameplay of a computer game to a board game experience. | | | I have played the game a few times the same way I play the PC game and that type of play does serve me well initially, however, depending on the number of players, the strategies required to win change quickly. | | | As I mentioned, the game board is huge at 3’x 4’. |

| | GamerDad - Sid Meier’s Civilization (Board Game) |
| | Eagle Games has taken the general concepts of the computer game and streamlined them enough to provide a board game with a strong flavor of the computer game. | | | Since Sid Meier's computer game was very loosely inspired by an earlier board game, this game could be seen as a board game based off a computer game, based off of a board game. | | | The basic game eliminates most of the game complexity and it is a simple explore, expand, and conquer sort of game with few specific units, technologies, etc... |

| | Funagain Games: Sid Meier's Civilization: The Boardgame |
| | This is the first of the drawbacks with the game, so if your fare is more geared towards the 60 to 90 minute games, Civilization: The Board Game will not be for you. | | | Civilization the computer game is utterly absorbing, so I admit I was sceptical when I thought how it would translate to the board game stage. | | | This is a game that demands loads of space and so it is best to plan on this before setting the game up for play. |

| | So you want to play Civilization ... |
| | Civilization is a clean game, so a player familiar with euros can be up and running within 15 minutes, given a passable teacher (if that teacher is going to be you, be sure to solo a game through the Bronze age to get a feel for it. | | | If you have experienced players mixed in a game with new players, the experienced players should be given these two nations. | | | Unlike the Avalon Hill-style games that were then in the vogue – games that tended to make some attempt at simulating something – Civilization is a themed game. |

| | Civilization: The Board Game |
| | Civilization: the Board Game is the complex and thoroughly entertaining game that lets you re-write history-and the results could be astounding (or dismal)! | | | Each game lasts from 2 to 10 hours, depending on which rules and how many players. | | | Comes with an enormous, richly-illustrated 46x36" game board, 784 detailed plastic miniature pieces including 22 distinct sculptures, 100 full-color Technology and Wonders cards and two sets of rules (Standard and Advanced). |

| | Advanced Civilization (SKIRMISHER Reviews) |
| | Familiarity with the Advanced Civilization board game is not a prerequisite (I have never played it, and was no worse off as a result), but the computer version can clearly serve as a practice device for avid board game players. | | | On the down side, Advanced Civilization takes a long time to play; the two-hour play time is usually nowhere near the mark (although the number of computer players selected can affect this greatly, and a minimum of opponents can make for a much faster game). | | | To order the board game Advanced Civilization directly, go to Amazon.com. |

| | Billabong Boardgamers: Civilization/Advanced Civilization review |
| | Finally, a new scoring system allows games to be as short or as long as players wish, although eight to twelve hours is a usual length for a full game. | | | Civilization works best with more than four players, but there are rules for as few as two. | | | Trade has been vastly simplified (a shortcoming in the original Civilization game), there are more commodity cards so that more players can play comfortably, there are replacement civilization cards, introducing a new category (religion) so that your civilization isn't just heading for Democracy or Philosophy every game. |

| | The Board Game Designers Forum! |
| | Most games use game systems to model physical realities, and let "soft subjects" like culture go unregulated, up to the negotiation powers of the players. | | | I think a Civilization game might be a fun thing to try to make, and might be pretty popular with my friends and family, as they (including me) have never experienced this type of game. |

| | Some customers think the game is as good as they expected it to be, some say it needs a little tinkering but is still a good game, and some say it's not worth fixing. | | | I decided to take a break from the game and haven’t played it since. | | | When I heard that Eagle Games was doing a board game version of Sid Meier’s Civilization I was excited but doubted that they (or any other boardgame company) could do justice to it, but I think the team at Eagle did. |
